Politco exposes coordination between Romney campaign and super PAC.

The pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future is out with a new ad, "Saved," that features the time when Romney helped track down the 14-year-old daughter of a Bain Capital colleague. The footage in the ad appears identical to a Romney for President ad released in 2007, during Romney's last run for president: same music, same images, and same narration from Robert Gay, the father of the missing girl.

In the ad, Gay says Romney "stepped forward to take charge" when he found out Gay's daughter had gone missing.

"He closed the company and brought almost all our employees to New York," he says. "He said I don't care how long takes, we're going to find her. He set up a command center and searched through the night."

Per an ROF official, the ad is airing in both Arizona and Michigan in advance of next Tuesday's primaries.
